Zionist's anti-Soviet lies By JOSHUA GERSHMAN (Editor, Canadian Jewish Weekly) Mitchell Sharp, Canada’s minister of foreign affairs, found it necessary to appeal to the leaders of Canada’s Jewish com- munity to desist from extreme actions during the visit of Prem- ier Kosygin as guest of our country. In a letter to Mr. Sol Litmar, editor of Canadian Jew- ish News, as well as the Mon- roe Abbey, president of the Canadian Jewish Congress, Mr. Sharp clearly and sharp- ly expressed the concern of the Canadian government that nothing should take place during this visit to interfere with the improvement of Can- ada’s relations with the Soviet Union. How did the “Jewish estab- lishment” react to the wise ap- peal of the minister of foreign affairs? Inspired by _ reactionary leaders of the Zionist organiza- tion, Canadian Jewish Congress spokesmen arrogantly ignored Minister Sharp’s appeal and pro- ceeded with plans of demonstra- tions against Premier Kosygin— actions contrary to the interests and desires of the Canadian Canada-USSR friendship — @ Continued from pg. 5 plause. In the restaurant where large numbers of these scientific workers gathered to watch the closed-circuit television follow- ing his progress through their laboratories, and outside in the. glorious Canadian autumn sun- shine, from the windows of the buildings, the Bell-Northern Re- search employees evinced their enthusiastic interest in the So- viet premier’s visit. The president of the great la- boratory, Dr. Donald Chisholm, welcoming Mr. Kosygin said, “This is not the first time we have received visitors from the USSR . . . we have found these visits very stimulating and we hope they continue.” The open, warm and friendly reception accorded Premier Ko- sygin by these scientific work- ers on this memorable occasion —this is the true feeling of the Canadian people. What was called a “hand- shake across the North,” when Mr. Trudeau last May was ac- corded all the hospitality, is to-- day becoming a warm hand- clasp. Q @ Continued from pg. 5 dollars, and to modify its trade pacts. The Trudeau government did so in 1970, and the Canadian dollar went up from 92 to 98 cents. But, the higher exchange value of the dollar helped ito worsen unemployment in Can- ada. Now there is pressure on us to raise the Canadian dollar to $1.02. If this is done, it will create additional harm to our economy, and will further limit the markets for Canadian agri- cultural and manufacturing pro- ducts. And if we modify the auto pact, as the U.S. monopolies are demanding, it would lead to the unemployment of Canadian auto workers. The Communist Party calls for a new economic policy bas- ed on the industrialization and PACIFIC TRIBUNE—FRIDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1971—PAGE 10. people and against the interests of the world movement for re- laxation of tensions and peace. The leaders of the Jewish establishment are ready to enter into official partnership with anti-Semitic fascist leaders of Ukrainian and other Slavic re- actionary organizations. Pet- lura’s henchmen and ‘other po- gromists, dyed in the wool enemies of the Soviet Union, the working class movement and progress, are snugly ensconsed in the bosom of the Jewish es- tablishment supposedly in the interests of “the fate of Soviet Jews.” And the hooligan gang of Rabbi Meir Kahane, the Jewish Defense League, goes even fur- ther. On instruction of their headquarters in New York it prepares a demonstration of its own the day Premier Kosygin visits Toronto. Its Toronto lead- er declared that invitations have been extended to Estonians, Lat- vians and “all others who sym- pathize with the cause of Soviet Jews,” and when asked by a re- porter whether the JDL will ac- cept support and participation of the anti-Semitic fascist Ed- mund Burke Society (a copy of the USA Birchites) its leader stated, “of everyone who will support us.” And the above mentioned Canadian Jewish News, pres- ently owned by three Jewish finance tycoons, part of the Jewish Welfare Fund which aims to achieve hegemony of Jewish community life in Can- ada, does not hesitate to reject Mitchell Sharp’s appeal for “re- straint” and for as friendly and courteous a reception of Kosy- gin as that extended Prime Min- ister Trudeau by the Soviet people last May. To justify the criminal deeds of the Jewish establishment, the editor of this paper dares to state editorially that “the lives of our brothers in the Soviet Union are. at stake” and therefore ‘‘we’’ must place this above all other con- siderations. This unspeakable slander that the life of even a single Jew is in danger in the Soviet Union has been more than once con- demned by Dr. Nahum Goldman, president of the World Jewish Congress as well as by rabbis of a number of countries, just as they have condemned the disgraceful comparison of the Soviet Union with Hitler Ger- many—and yet, to justify their irresponsible actions against friendly relations with our northern neighbor,. they dare the processing of Canadian raw materials under public owner- ship, and new trade policies with Latin America, the socialist countries, the newly emerging countries, on a mutually satis- factory basis. He said, we must put an end to Canada’s depen- dence on the U.S. market, which is undermining the inde- pendence of Canada. “Those who propose a com- mon market with the USA as the answer to the crisis are, in effect, calling for Canada to be a hewer of wood and a drawer of water and gas for U.S. im- perialism, with Canada’s politi- cal independence going down the drain,” he said, ‘and its ability to survive as an indepen- dent country being seriously undermined.” Pee: print for the benefit of the naive and ignorant that canard about the lives of Soviet Jews. The Jewish establishment usually follows the dictates of the government in power. Fol- lowing World War Two, it re- fused to participate in the struggle against German rearma- ment, and against the release of Nazi criminals because Ottawa “so ordered. The Jewish estab- lishment has for years failed to participate in any meaningful fight for civil rights or any other laudable goals because that _would be against the will of those in authority. The Canadian Jewish Con- gress, the Federated Zionist or- ganization, the B’nai B’rith are conspicuous by their absence from the ever-growing peace movements. They failed to con- demn the murderous U.S. ag- gression in Vietnam, and of course did not protest against Canadian complicity in that senseless bloodbath—all because such was the course of Cana- dian governing circles. But for the first time, now that improvement of relations with USSR is involved, the Jew- ish establishment does _ act againt the policy and wishes of Ottawa. For in this case an im- portant and direct role is being played by Jewish reaction on a world scale, from Jerusalem to New York, Paris, and Montreal. Honest Jewish Canadians, when they look seriously into the matter can’t help but realize that the Jewish establishment is yery little concerned about the cultural life of Soviet Jews or their welfare. They must con- demn the establishment’s part- nership with pogromists, anti- Semitic fascists, and-~as loyal Canadians and peace loving people earnestly support true friendship with all peoples, in- cluding the Soviet Union and other socialist countries as the only road to achieving world peace. We sharply condemn the anti- Soviet hate campaign and the ugly provocative demonstrations against our country’s guest, Soviet Premier Alexei Kosygin. We call upon Canadian Jewry not to be misled by harmful propaganda and align them- selves with all Canadians who desire meaningful friendship with the Soviet Union as with all other countries. ’ Canada’s total exports for the first eight months of 1971 reach- ed $11,609 million, up $461 mil- lion or 4.1% over the same period last year. Soviet public interest in visif | By BERT WHYTE MOSCOW All Moscow newspapers are devoting much space to Premier Kosygin’s visit to Canada. In numerous. inter- views with prominent people and commentaries of well- known columnists the hope is expressed that Kosygin’s visit will be just as successful as the Soviet visit of Prime Minister Trudeau last May. Canadian ambassador A. D. Ford told a Moscow News re- porter that following Trudeau’s trip “our relations have now reached a higher level .. . and I think that in the light of broad- ening relations between Canada and the USSR in all fields, Mr. Kosygin’s visit to Canada will be just as successful. 1) feel . : Fi all offensive for peace rallies thousands in U.5. NEW YORK — The voice of labor came across loud and clear in the Oct. 13 rallies across the United States in observa- tion of the Moratorium against | ‘the Vietnam war. And in every city sights were being set on Nov. 6, the next target date set by labor and the united peace forces for the fall anti-war of- fensive. Thousands of workers throng- ed the garment district here in a rally sponsored by a_ broad coalition of labor leaders. Emil Mazey, secretary-treasurer of the United Auto Workers, blast- ed the Nixon administration for “dumping the $200 billion cost of the war on the backs of working people.” He cited the war as “the principal cause of inflation.” Thousands of angry voices shouted “aye” to the resolution read by rally chairman David Livingstone, president of Dis- trict 65 Distributive Workers, sent to President Nixon. The resolution stated: “This Moratorium Day rally of thousands of New York trade unionists demends that you act now to end the shame- ful war in Vietnam, with at least the same decisiveness and § gtration on the SOU _ all-day teach-in in Ev dispatch you displayed in freez- ing our wages and depriving us of our rightful wage increases. ‘Tt is for this reason, among others, that we are appalled at the failure of our government to respond to the latest peace pro- .posals put forward over two months ago.” Stop this senseless and immoral killing. END THE WAR NOW!” Peace demonstrations held at Columbia University, the campus of Brooklyn College, | the Washington Square campus of New York University, Queen’s ' College and other schools. In Washington Rep. Ronald Dellums told a cheering throng on the U.S. Capitol that the anti-war movement “must turn the U.S. around” by forcing an end to the Indochina war. He urged the building of a massive national coalition of working class people, black, brown and white, for the 1972 elections to defeat President Nixon and drastically increase the number of congressmen and women committed to social change. The Black congressman de- clared, “We need to put a stop to the politics of death, in favor of the politics of life .. . I pledge you my continued support”. that both countries have yet very much to do in connection with the development of the vast Northern territories. It is self-understood that coopera- tion in this field is of great in- terest to both countries.” International commentator An- atoly Belobrov wrote: “Let us firmly stress the fact that Prime Minister Trudeau’s visit to the USSR last may was the first ever made to the Soviet: Union by the head of the government of Canada during three decades of diplomatic relations, estab- lisher in 1942, at the time when our countries were allies in the struggle against fascism. “Mr. Trudeau’s visit was as- sessed as a tangible step along the road towards securing greater independence for Cana- were “Burnt-out!” Frankfurter RU dst In Chicago 1,000 ate moratorium rally at ©) Center Plaza in the L00P test continuation of Southeast Asia, the wae? welfare. cuts, and oo Rallies and meetings vay" the same evening in ™9 Gif munities throughout "4 including an open i side sto all-day activities in 7° puses in the city. ool Students took off “ng spend the day leaflel * op corners and subway ° ig the Veterans Day deme to be held Oct. 25 and nation-wide moratonu" All through the Unit in Baltimore, in PHM ig and on the West C02», rallies and demonst!@ place to protest the Me Plans are already af the Ne for the second stage ~ novi peace offensive, Be | moratoriums.
